Dear Santiago

Well.. Santiago is a beautiful city, even though the most of their citizen thinks that is an ugly town. Is true that it has a lot of smoog, and the air is very poluted by buses and factories, but it also has amazing parks, villages and historical areas that remind us the past of the city. That's why I recommend to all foreigner tourist that go to visit the down town, plaza de armas for example, where you can see and feel the reminiscense of a colonial glorius past, over there they can found the antique catedral, the museum and the central area where people, old people actually, gather to play chess, talk about anything or just take a break of the fast pace of Santiago. Is curious that the blocks that surrounding plaza de armas are occupied by immigrants from Peru, who have taken that area like a place where they can express their culture.
Near of there, the neighborhood of Lastarria offers a spot of bohemia and literature, where the people related with theater or any other artistic expression get together to experience this cultural environment, also the tourist might find some stands that sold books or ordinary junk. This are places that reflect the diversity of the people living in Santiago, because the center of the town is a space where you can see popular people and opposite people from high suburbs.
An other nice point which is close of there is the Santa Lucia's hill, which offers a beautiful view of the center of the town and also shows the importance of conserving the natural areas.
The foreigner tourist usually take an enormous bus that passes for all the typical areas, but I sincerely recommend a quiet walk all over the city, Santiago is a city of contrasts, because above plaza Italia you will see all the better communes, but under it is a completely different reality.
But despite of that inequality, there are interesting places to visit, for example the Bellavista neighborhood, where the tourist can go to party, drink some beer and watch the eccentric characters wandering the bars, they could be drunks or crazy but anyway they are a fun attraction.
Finally there is a last place where the foreigner tourist can go to visit, Parque O'higgins is a nice and big park where people can sit on the grass to contemplate the nature, have a picnic or just escape of the rudeness of the capital. Over there you can cycling because is a very big park, or you can elevate kites as whell.
With all this been said I think that Santiago is a nice city to visit, the tourist can observe the beautiful nature, look at the range and the hurry life of our capital, is a contradiction between modernity and traditional practice, but that is the precise feature which makes it so interesting.

Music in my soul

I like music so much..it's very important in my life, because it makes me feel in a good mood, or in other moments it helps me to understand some feelings that I can't express in other way. I think that is the best way to translate what you feel with life, with love, and actually with all the reality. My favorite groups are those who can transmit a good idea, for example some bands that denounce the injustice of the world or the beauty of life too. There are many ways of doing music, so is an artistic creation that mix diverse lyrics with a nice melody. However there are kinds of music that I dislike because are to noisy, like metal for example that makes me feel histeric and trapped.
I don't know or I haven't chosen my favourite band, because I like a variety of music, but in spite of that I would say that one of my favourite groups are Fabulosos Cadillacs, Sumo, Smashing pupkins, Lauryn Hill and much more.
I love music but I never discovered any talent related with it, in my school I learnt some of guitar, but still.. I don't know how to play it very well. Any way, I like to sing and that's my way to connect with music, I sing in the shower, walking in the streat, in karaokes or in any moment that I feel happiness.
Music is a way of expression for the human been, and the world would be very different if we couldn't create music, people might feel lonely without it because music is in many ways the joy of the spirit.Is a reflection of ourself, and in a bigger level is an explanation of the different cultures because show how that society understand and feel the world. Finally the music transced the diversity of people because it can connect in a spiritual dimension that unite all the human kind.

My last weekend

I don't know why but April is a month full of births.. So my weekend was just celebrations. I have like five friends with their birthdays in the same week, even de same day.
The Thursday I was making a gift for one friend, and calling another..But I was so tired that I couldn't go to visit him, although I knew it would be a great party..still I didn't go..
Then, Friday, I went to visit another friend..I gave her my present and spent a nice time with some ex classmate; eating and drinking a lot, wich is the worst and the best part at the same time..after that I went with one of them to another party of her friends. To my surprise there was a mutual person, and it turned out in a great meeting..
Saturday was prety much like the past days: another birthday to celebrate.

I should have been studing.. but friends are friends, and parties too.

The song

There There - Radiohead

In pitch dark i go walking in your landscape. Broken branches trip me as i speak.
Just because you feel it doesnt mean it's there. Just because you feel it doesnt mean it's there.
There's always a sirensinging you to shipwreck. (don't reach out, don't reach out)

Steer away from these rocks we'd be a walking disaster.(don't reach out, don't reach out)
Just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there.(there's someone on your shoulder)
Just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there.(there's someone on your shoulder)
there there..

Why so green and lonely? heaven sent you to me.
We are accidents waiting waiting to happen...we are accidents waiting waiting to happen.

Well, the thing is that I've homework..Write about a song that it means something for you..
To me there are differents kinds of songs, depending on your mood; when you're happy,or sad,when you have nostalgia. But there are others that reminds you a special time of your life, or an special person..those are the best, they are part of yourself..
There There is a song that always fits in any moment of my life, it has a lot of memories and it remains creating more..like when you're walking and you start to sing, then appear differents thoughts and the lyrics make sense with what you are crossing in that moment.. 'just cauze you feel it doesnt' mean it's there'.. is like a permanent advice.

My first blog

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do..I'm creating my first blog for an english class. And the problem is not just been forced to write in english, which is very fun and shameful, but that I never believed or liked this kind of things, exposed your personal life as if someone actually cared.
Any way, I've to think in a subject that you wanted to read..or something that I want to say, but I hate to talk about myself, and overcoat when you've to improvise..so the first thing is to appear: My name is Camila, and I'm taking this class in the university. It's a kind of experimental program to check the level of the students or something like that..
So..I needed to write 100 words in my own blog, at the beginning I thought it would be very painful, but right now I've changed my mind.. it's a little bit addictive. Who would know..maybe it is not so bad after all...
